I'm not really talking about white guilt here as much as I'm just pointing out the obvious... a lot of the white world's success today is built on the blood, sweat and tears of africans, chinese, all sorts of people who live under NON-democratic regimes but toil to serve us.
I would like to see the final legacy of this european onslaught to be redeemed by the application of those very radical and resourceful science and engineering skills that it has been building on since the renaissance towards tech that will free the people of the world from energy dependence.
